Silly me.  I normally would do 

locate vlc | grep config

Which would have worked fine.  Think I was looking for a .vlc 

Thanks also to Cliff


That was easy.  Evidently the problem with Xine is rather different
(particularly since a different user makes no difference to the
symptoms).  Generally I prefer to use it in preference to VLC but with
some DVDs, I can get as far as indicating which part of the DVD I want
to see and once I select it, Xine vanishes.  I couldn't find anything
in /var/log/messages but I know that it did used to work before a
kernel upgrade.

Ideas where I should look would be appreciated.
